I never thought I'd see the day when eSports fans are actually criticizing the sponsors themselves for their OPINIONS rather than their ACTIONS. But here we are now... Why are people so against Papa Johns supporting eSports?
From what I heard, officials at Papa Johns have expressed controversial opinions such as not supporting "ObamaCare" or universal health-care or have been accused of being anti-homosexual. Whether it's true or not is not what I'm interested in. I'm just wondering why in the hell does this community care?
Papa Johns has supported eSports in the past and is supporting it today so this isn't their first time their dabbling into eSports, thus this isn't some convoluted scheme to raise popular opinion towards them. Besides raising popular opinion on something as small as esports (no offense) isn't the right way to do it.
Officials at Papa Johns may have some controversial opinions, but in my opinion that shouldn't matter to people. Everyone, including officials at multi-million dollar companies are entitled to their own opinions. And from the looks of it, Papa Johns has never done anything to harass or fire employees that are openly homosexual and Papa Johns officials have merely stated their OWN OPINIONS on anti-gay marriage, etc. The Obama Care issue is really confusing me because basically Papa Johns did nothing but state their opinions on it. I don't know why people are getting up in arms about their opinion.
Basically, I'm FOR Papa Johns joining eSports. I understand that Papa Johns may have a controversial resume, but from what I've seen their "disgusting actions" were merely officials stating their opinions. Seeing as though a many of us are from countries that protect the right to opinion, I'm appalled at the community for being so against a company just SIMPLY for their opinions.
Papa Johns has never discriminated against homosexuals when hiring employees nor has it denied service to homosexuals. They stated OPINIONS. Are we really boycotting a company for utilizing their right to an opinion. That makes about as sense as denying the Salvation Army from helping the poor and charities just simply because they're openly religious. I'm all for boycotting if Papa Johns has committed anti-homosexual practices, but until you find that, I'm only seeing people boycott a company simply because an employee or two had a few controversial opinions. Grow up people and actually boycott the real problems in this world. Not some imaginary problems like a guy's opinion.
And you know what's really funny about all of this? I'm liberal and I still support Papa Johns.
Now the hipsters come out and say the community is too obsessed with being mainstream. I guess those years when SC1 community was pretty much dead was so much better than now /sarcasm Lol yes you can definitely boycott something because of their opinions. Idek why you brought that up Because they never did anything openly anti-gay except expressing their opinions. With your logic, we should boycott the Salvation Army because they're openly Christian and pushing their Christian views on others.
Why yes, yes I do boycott the Salvation Army because of their views. Holy shit! So do other people and that's their fucking right! How is this hard to grasp? You can have your opinion, if you want to openly throw it around and I think it's trash I might decide the world would be a better place if you didn't get a dime from me ever again. This seriously can't be this hard to understand.

It isn't like Papa Johns is directly supporting the entire scene, they're supporting two of the already most successful foreign teams in the world as well as a few of their individual players. Tell you what, you continue supporting e-sports by buying their pizza and I'll keep doing it by supporting the smaller up and coming North American teams by giving them ad revenue on twitch and helping promote their players on twitter. You know what drives the big sports leagues? Popular teams. If there was no Michael Jordan, the NBA wouldn't be as popular as it is today. If there was no New York Yankees, MLB wouldn't be so popular. You can't tell me small teams are what drives the popular leagues.
I don't need to buy Papa Johns Pizza to support EG and TL. I do that already just by being here on TL, buying their shirts, pre-ordering HoTS through their Amazon link and watching major tournament streams through TL's sidebar.
I can just as easily boycott Papa Johns and continue to support TL. EG and SC2 while doing so. Trying to guilt trip people into supporting Papa Johns because "OMG ESPORTS" is stupid, they're just another avenue out of for people to lend their support.

so i read that forbes link on the earlier pages and it was mentioned that this guy actually owns only 25% of the company. what if the other 75% had the opposite opinion? would people still boycott papa john's? where would u draw the line?

You seem to think you have a point here. Instead, I'm mildly bored thata you would even attempt to advocate one wrong by pointing to others that we do. You would have us think that it makes no difference and me may as well support every awful thing because we already support some? You might not be hypocritical, or an internet asshole; but your thinking here is preposterous.

Papa Johns doesn't directly finance efforts to curb Obama Care or Gay marriage. Terrible comparison. There's a difference between ACTION and OPINIONS. You clearly don't understand that.

They have been accused of doing such practices. Maybe not in your part of the organization, but the organization as a whole isn't perfect. However, I still support organizations like the Salvation Army nonetheless because of how much the good overrides the ugly.
Also a bunch of anti-gay and trans stuff.

people who only deliver pizza dont deserve to be able to use 911. they should ask for your social security number when you call up to make sure to give you the level of service you are worth.

I'll just as easily boycott a company that will refuse to make that raise in prices at the cost of their worker benefits. It isn't the liberals bitching about the extra 25 cents. It's actually the opposite. I don't know. I'm what Americans strangely call a "liberal" because I'm on the left, and I'm opposed to this "25c". Dummies don't understand that it actually has nothing to do with the 25 cents, people couldn't care less about 25 cents. It's entirely symbolic. The reason why I don't like it is because of how seemingly angry he was about having to pay for its underpaid employees's healthcare. The big guy, he can check himself into the best hospitals and get top 0.1% world class doctors and surgeons on his case. His employees, they'd die from being uninsured and he'd never hear about it. And he has the guts to come out and publicly and denounce this humanitarian push in the name of profit? Raise your prices if you want to but don't publicly announce that you're doing it for disgusting reasons. Now we all know that Papa John's prices were raised because he can't be bothered to even pretend that he gives a fuck about the well-being of his employees. Sorry but why the fuck should you get healthcare coverage for making pizza. Maybe the driver....
Yeah, our children and young adults don't deserve doctors! Fuck them! If they're not driving then they don't really deserve basic human rights... /sarcasm

The more companies that want to sponsor e-sports the better. Who cares what Papa Johns did? Maybe after the community has the luxury of choosing between different competing sponsors can we start making consumer choices based on ethics. But first we need them to hand over their sponsorship cash.. so don't blow it.. I guess you're the type that just bends over backwards Do you have a cell-phone? because if you do you are supporting an industry that literally fuels war and mass-rape over rare earth minerals in the Congo. I have a cell-phone. I have clothes that were made in factories that might topple down at any minute and maim everyone inside them. I eat meat at a rate that is ruining the environment completely, and when i try to cut down i eat soy meat that is grown on burned amazon rain forest. I fly on vacations to other continent even though it's terrible. But at least I'm not a hypocritical Internet asshole. Yeah, I mean, Hitler seems really good for the German economy, so just ignore everything else about him ans support him because we need the money first, THEN we can start caring about the less fortunate people...
Hitler killed people. Papa Johns didn't. Hitler discriminated people. Papa Johns didn't. Both had opinions but only one acted on them. Get the pattern here? *Facepalm*
